The Moving Causes of Tuesdays Ex-
element in Wall Street Disappeared
Yesterday.
New YORK, Feb. 2-The stock market
showed less animation to-day, and the
moving causes Of the excitement yesterday
seem to have entirely died away. Com
mercial advlces reported the markets on
the other side as quiet and steady, and
local influences alone were responsible for
the movements in this market to-day The
trading, especially in the forenoon, was
again mostly between professionals and
room traders, and the probability Of set
tlement Of the labor troubles exercised
more influence than anything else.
There was good buying Of New England,
which became the special feature OF the
day, and in the afternoon a more general
purchasing movement was noticed. The
room soon followed suit and general ad-
vance, accompanied by moderate degree
Of activity, was the result. Other promi-
nent stocks were the coalers, Richmond and
West Point, and st. Paul. Highest prices
were generally recorded about 2 p. M,
after which realizations caused saggng
off OF small fractions, and the close was
rather heavy.
Money on call has beon easy, ranging
| from 81 to 4, last loan at 4, and closing at

Lieut.. schuetze's Mission.

The speaker laid before the House a COM
munication from the Secretary of State trans
mitting report of Lieut.. VIM. II. schuetze,
U. s. N, who was designated by the Secretary
Of the Navy TO distribute the testimonials OF
the government to the subjects of Russia who
extended aid to the survivors of the Jeanette
exploring expedition and to the parties dis
patched by this government to aid the said
survivors. The President says the report is
interesting alike to the people of the United
States and TO the subjects OF Russia, ,and will be
gratifying to all who appreciated the generous
and humane action of Congress in providing
for the testimonials.
The report is quite long, and records In. de-
tail the movements Of the lieutenant aud the
results of his observations. II appears that he
proceeded to Russia for the purposes indicated
under the instructions Of the State Department
in July, 1885, and after an exceedingly arduous
journey, during which he seems TO have fully
accomplished the object OF his mission so far
as practicable, returned to Washington in
September last.
Accompanying the report are copies of two
chnr,s, the existence of whichsLieut. Schultz
believes has been forgotten outside of Rnssis.
He says in view of the general interest taken
in anything pertaining TO tbs Jeanette
arctic expedition, 1t seems that these charts
are worthy of special consideration. becau 20
they relate directly to t2o regions most proml-
nent In the history OF the expedition. namely,
Bennett island and the Lena Delta, North ST.
heria.

Relief for Sufferers In Texas.

Senator George, from the committee on agri-
culture, reported back fayorably, and after al
interesting discussion the Senate passed, the
House bill appropriating $4,000 TO be imme-
diately ayailable) for special distribution o.
seeds In the droughtstrlcken section Of Texas
by the agricultural department. The Object
and propriety OF the bill were explained by
forty counties In Texas which had suffered las
year from drought that had destroyed al
agricultural products. The number Of persons
thus destitute, he said was estimated at from
10000 TO 10000, so that the appropriation would
not amount to 20 cents per capita.
